自911事件以来 纽约最严重袭击案

We resume our daily news coverage¹ today, but our first story appears to be related to yesterday`s special edition concerning the ISIS terrorist group.

欢迎收看今天新闻，我们的首条新闻与昨日关于ISIS的恐怖组织特别报道有关。

A U.S. law enforcement official says a terrorist attack in New York City on Tuesday was done in the name of ISIS. It involved a man who apparently² drove a rented pickup³ truck onto a popular bike path. Eight people were killed and more than 12 others are trying to recover from their injuries.

一名美国执法官员表示，周二在纽约发生的恐怖袭击事件是以ISIS的名义进行的。很明显一名男子开着租来的卡车撞上了繁忙的自行车道。其中8人死亡，还有12人受伤。

After crashing the truck into a school bus, the suspect then reportedly stepped out, holding imitation firearms, a pellet gun and a paintball gun.

据报道，卡车装上了一辆校车，嫌疑人从车上下来，手里拿着仿真枪、一把子弹枪还有一支彩蛋枪。

A police officer then shot him in the abdomen⁴. He survived and was taken to the hospital.

之后警方开枪击中其腹部，男子生命无大碍，最终被带进医院。

This was the deadliest terrorist attack in New York City since the assaults of September 11th, 2001. It happened just blocks away from the World Trade Center, which was a target 16 years ago.

这是自2011年9月11日，16年之前，恐怖袭击案后，纽约发生的最严重的恐怖事件。此次袭击事件距离世贸中心仅有几个街区远。

The suspect is a 29-year-old man named Sayfullo Saipov. He`s from the Central Asian country of Uzbekistan. Officials say he came to the U.S. legally in 2010 and that he learned about ISIS and radical⁵ Islamic tactics afterward⁶.

嫌疑人是一名叫Sayfullo Saipov的29岁的男子。这名男子来自中亚国家乌兹别克斯坦。官员表示，2010年，他通过合法的途径来到美国，之后接触到了ISIS和激进的伊斯兰策略。

Police say he`d been planning Tuesday`s terrorist attack for months and then a note found near the scene was written in Arabic and had the general message that Islamic state, another name for ISIS, would endure forever.

数月前警方表示，这名男子数月前就在策划周二的恐怖袭击案，之后，然后，在现场附近发现的一张用阿拉伯语写的字条，字条的意思是“伊斯兰国”将永远存活下去。

The use of vehicles as weapons has become increasingly common among terrorists. Since 2014, there had been 15 jihadist attacks using cars or trucks in western countries, killing⁷ more than 140 people. That`s according to New America, a nonpartisan research group.

恐怖分子利用车辆作为袭击工具越发普遍。自2014年，在西方国家，已经发生了15起圣战分子袭击事件，造成140人死亡。上述言论来自“新美国”一个无党派研究组织。
